The Silver King Band had three fully-functional front-persons in Flo Mingo, St. Petey Twig, & Rock Bottom. Their set lists were packed with rockabilly long before The Stray Cats reignited interest in the genre, and like Brian & The Boys, they wore only the most stylish vintage clothing, & were more popular in Europe than in the States.  But they accomplished it without a guitarist!  Their billing often changed from The Silver King Band to The Silver King Rhythm Band, but their line-up was consistent.  Piano pounder St. Petey Twig was the ringmaster & generally introduced the songs.  Lead vocals were evenly distributed between him, the washboard playing Flo Mingo, and harmonica player Rock Bottom. Rock’s blues pedigree is pure—his brother-in-law was the blues singer Roy Book Binder, and blues legend Eddie Kirkland played on The Silver King Band’s live album Live At The Dive.  He often filled the spaces a lead guitarist would.  Rock continued to release albums after the band broke up.  Flo Mingo retired, & St. Petey Twig became a solo act in The Florida Keys as Barry Cuda.
